    Some people say he’s the best since Arkle and that’s certainly true when you look at what he’s done

    I can highly recommend the Final Furlong

    Have been downloading since reading this thread and it's now a must listen to. There are few things that make me laugh out loud, but Emmet Kennedy & Co have done it regularly

    Freakconomics
    EconTalk
    Pregame (Not all of them just certain cobtributions from US pro bettors)
    Chad Milman (not listened to this much now because it's a bit boring during Football season)

    Final Furling is ok but Noel Hayes thinks he's 'the' authority on Irish racing and they all agree far too much. The bird from the UK is particularly clueless. Too many stupid 'in jokes' as well.

    Shows DO,usually from the radio (although some are exclusive to the net) that can be downloaded onto whatever device you have to listen to at your leisure.

    You can download the podcast app onto your device and then search for whatever you wish through that.

    I see sports podcasts are very popular with other members. Is there not enough sport paralysis by anylsis on TV than bleeding your ears through podcasts too? Do any of them offer anything that I won't read in The Independant or hear down the pub?

    People are more themselves on radio than when on the telly. More freedom and less restraints.

    Not if it's football based because what's there to analyse ultimately.

    The guys who present Channel 4's NFL coverage do a good one called Americarnage which features all 4 American sports as well as some popular culture recommendations.

    Rory was excellent on the second FF podcast, particularly his staunch defence of Cue Card. Shrewd man (even though he unfollowed me on Twitter a while back.)

    If any of you like History, search for Mike Duncan on Podcast Republic. He has 3 series. History of Rome, English Civil War and French Revolution. Utterly compelling. I spend a lot of hours in the air in my job, and these keep me sane. Of course this is augmented with the sublime Melvyn Bragg - In Our Time History on BBC R4.

    Then - try 'Serial' - US NPR type investigation into a murder in Baltimore 15 years ago. Cliff hanger every week, but really good investigative journalism.

    Second Captains for laddish light relief is always dependable.
    "And still they gazed and still the wonder grew. That one small head could carry all he knew.

    And that small head knew that Impaire Et Passe would win the Champion Hurdle."
